Wanted to do some Zwift racing again but browsing on the companion app i am forced to A in all races.
I am nowhere near strong enough for A so i wont race there. tried it twice but i get dropped within 1-2 minutes which makes sense racing guys with up to 100 watts more ftp, let alone 5 min power.
Now looking at my last efforts i didnt see anything out of the ordinary for B, can someone explain to me why i am forced to A
You’re in category E without a zFTP, which I think means you haven’t done an effort in the last 90 days. If you go out and do a ride or workout you should get a category assigned.
Are you quitting after 1-2 minutes? Or just rolling slowly. The details around the minimum requirements are sparse, but you need to save an activity of a certain length to get a minimum category assigned. Not sure how long, it could be as little as 5 minutes. 20 minutes is plenty.
as Aaron says you’ve no activity on zwift since the 23rd November.
If you do something on zwift. sit with a pace bot for 15 mins then try again you should have access to more categories.
Thank you, that explains it. So without an effort the last 90 days you can only do A and E. Will do some riding first.
Yes @David_Danser
I recommend “racing” one of the Big Spin group rides. They are competitive at the front so you would get an accurate category from an effort like that.
